Biggest Surprises So Far:

[Seanie Mac]

Obviously a small sample size, but it's a short year

The Good

• THE Philadelphia 76ers would be the #2 seed right now should MIA lose

• Pacers are 9-3 and the current 3 seed should MIA lose

• Blazers at 7-4 are a complete shock with no Roy. Talented team no doubt, but Roy was a superstar still in the making

• Kevin Love continuing to not just dominate the boards but putting up 23+ a game. He's now a legit 1st Team All-NBA candidate

• Spencer Hawes, obv I see him more than most, but trust on this one

• Kyle Lowry, guess who is 2nd in ASSTs this year @ 9.4 per

• Ricky Rubio, next Jerry West, than he's soft and a bust, and now he's playing at top 7 PG material for a kid who's 21

• Iman Shumpert, who? exactly. dude is real nice a team of big names




The Bad

• Celtics @ 4-6 look old and slow, and that's being nice

• Wizards have 1 win. They are essentially pushing John Wall away who won't be able to grow into the superstar he can be until he leaves for NYK

• Mavs @ 7-5 are the current 8 seed, they were handed Odom and frankly don't deserve a Playoff spot if they started tomorrow. Old, slow, sloppy. At least they won last year and now back to not being a threat. Nowitzki is averaging 18.6 a game, is he serious?

• Hornets who wont be a factor, ever. Should have stayed in Cha. Maybe their Chris Paul haul eventually does work out...for other teams to purge their stars. Does anyone wanna even own this team?

• Nets, D Williams was supposed to help, wasn't he? Where is he anyway?

• Russell Westbrook wake up dude or get ready to be in Wash for John Wall. Remember when you were a top 5 PG?

very good points. i just disagree with westbrook being on the bad list. dude still puts up great numbers. if he ever comes to the realization that it's durant's team they will be a legit contender as they can play with anyone.

The Good:
Kobe Bryant..... who knew the offseason surgery would bring him back to his offensive prime....

3 straight 40pt games

he's still either #1 or #2 in the league I never expected him not to still dominate. Later start could only help him

[whodi]

Agree with Kevin Love. He should be starting IMO and is the best in the West at his position.

24th in Assists @ 5.4 a game, 18.8 PPG. that's pathetic.

[Jalba]

18.8 5.4 assists is pathetic ? what sort of numbers do you expect out of him ?

20.7 8.6 is what rose averages.

[Seanie Mac]

not to be 24th in assists...2 less points a game is a lot, over 3 assists a game less IS REALLY REALLY REALLY a lot

[Jalba]

yes i know, but i don't agree with him being "bad" per say this year that's all.

[Seanie Mac]

Career Stats: 17.8 PPG & 7.1 APG

up in scoring and way down in assists, no wonder Durant and the coach are getting tired of him

[Jalba]

i still wouldn't say his stats or season are bad. so many others you can put on that list. sure he can pick it up a little, but first he has to let go and realize it's kd's team. dude needs the same level of praise durant gets or something, it's ridic. if he can come to terms with reality, they might win the ship this year.
